Denver is magical at dawn. Along the western horizon, the snow-capped mountains are bathed in pink from the glow of the rising sun. The sky is turning purest blue. The air is crisp and clear, and you can see forever.

What a great place to get stoned. Which I intend to do, as soon as possible.

In Colorado, recreational marijuana was legalized on Jan. 1, 2014. Denver now has more pot stores than it has Starbucks. Anyone over the age of 21 can walk into a store and choose from hundreds of varieties of flowers, nibbles, marijuana-infused drinks, oils, ointments and pain patches, as well as a growing array of wax and other supercharged hard-core products. There’s even a sex lube for women, which promises to deliver the most mind-blowing experience of your life.

The sky has not fallen. The revenues are flowing in. Most Coloradans – 58 per cent – favour keeping pot legal, according to a recent Quinnipiac University poll.

Meanwhile, Colorado has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the U.S., at 4.2. Before the law passed that rate was at nearly 6 percent.
